It depends what you mean? If you mean until the hardware dies 4-5 years more if youre lucky and take good care of it. If you mean for gaming it depends on the resoloution and what you call playable frame rates

it's in the mid-upper range for gaming. at least a couple of years, more if you'll be willing to drop details in games.

Every year there are two, maybe 3 games coming out that will tax your system.
It isnt that you wont be able to play them. No developer is going to release games that cannot be played on any intel quad, they wouldnt sell any copies. I would say 5 years minimum before you would need to think about upgrading your pc, and it will probs last that long with a Quality power supply, but you might need a replacement gpu along the way.
